It was a long flight but we made it. I'm not sure how real it feels yet. Today they just want us to relax and hydrate so we get used to the altitude. The hardest thing so far was saying goodbye to Micah at the airport. It was so hard to hold back the tears (don't be fooled by the picture of us smiling, it's just for the camera).
On our bus ride to the Pink hostel (our new home) there were street vendors all over walking in the middle of the street. They were selling bicycle tires to food to clothes to you-name-it. You really get to see and appreciate how strong the women are. So many are so poised while carrying large objects and baskets on their heads. Our teacher mentioned that they feel if you are not strong you would die in Ghana.
I look forward to tomorrow because we get to go to the beach (free day while the teacher has to hang out at the airport to pick up the rest of the students). Hope I don't burn. :)
Love you guys!!!
